Rahul Soreng in U19 Haryana team: Vaibhav Suryavanshi plays at Under 19 level in Indian cricket. Now the selection of the son of the soldier martyred in the Pulwama attack has been done at this level. Name is Rahul Sorang. Even though the level of Rahul Sorang, studying in 10th class, is that of Vaibhav Suryavanshi. But at present he has not been selected in the Under-19 team of India but in the Under-19 team of his state. Rahul Sorang has been selected in Haryana’s Under 19 team.
Selection in the state team means that now he has taken his steps towards India’s Under-19 team also. If he is successful in reaching the Indian Under-19 team on the basis of his performance, then it may also give him a chance to play for India along with Vaibhav Suryavanshi.
Sehwag congratulated after selection in U19 team
Rahul Sorang has also got the full support of Virender Sehwag after being selected in Haryana’s Under-19 team. Sehwag has congratulated him through social media.

Now the aim will be to get into India’s Under 19 team
After joining Haryana’s Under-19 team, Rahul Sorang’s next aim will now be to make a place in India’s Under-19 team. However, for this they will have to perform at the state level. If he does this then not only India will play at Under 19 level. In fact, Vaibhav can also be seen representing India with Suryavanshi.
